Hi gang, I have a lot of sets, but I seem to nothing for boys!! Mine is almost 5. Any recommendations on good sets for boys? We have a lot of birthday parties coming up!
thanks

Toy Box is a GREAT set for little boys! I love mine and have used it on cards, scrapbook LOs, and a few other miscellaneous projects. I'm really partial to the frog, sailboat and rocket!
I use Toy Box a lot with my scrapbooks and kids cards. You could also get a set of something he really likes. My boys were thrilled when I got Little Engine because they really like trains. If your son likes sports you could get Sporting Goods or Good Sport, if he's like my kids and likes animals you could get something along those lines. Little Trucks is a great boys set. But just think about what he really enjoys.
I just did a mother and son party on Saturday. I used the Toy Box and Little Engine sets. The boys were aged from 4 - 10. They thought the sets were great.
I used bug builder a lot when it first came out, but now I've been using Dino-Mite. The kids really seem to love it ( I have 3 boys 9,6,3 plus their friends) Plus I just got sporting goods since their getting a little older and into playing sports. Hope this helps.
I have two boys under the age of 5 and hearts and flowers just won't work.
I just love Toy Box. I used the car for a Father's Day card and it turned out great. I just used the sailboat a few minutes ago on a project. I have used it on a number of things. It is an easy set to creat with.
I also love Bug Builders. My oldest son got Dino-Mite from me for Christmas and he loves it. He can stamp a Dino page just for play. I do plan on using it for scrapbooking. I have a retired set that I will not give up. It is Fun in the sun. It has a bike, water gun and much more that I have used for scrapbooking. I hope that SU comes out with more in the next catalog.

Thanks everyone! I just picked up Going Somewhere and Zoom off B/S/T, and will be ordering Toy Box at a show tomorrow. I really appreciate all the suggestions. To let you know how desperate I am, tonight I wanted to make a card for the son of a friend who is serving in Iraq. I had nothing!! I grabbed the gecko out of my kids' SU Tattoo set, stamped him in a wavy "follow the leader" design, colored with watercolor pencils, and used Crystal Effects to make them "pop". I hope he likes it (he's almost 7).
My favorites are: Bug Builders, Fishy Friends, Good Sport, Toy Box & Roughing It. Also, the shape sets are wonderful for boys when you use appropriate colors.
sets for boys?
